NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43
“Huh?” The sudden sentence made Qian Lai’s whole-body tremble, his pupils shrunk suddenly, and he shuddered involuntarily.
He was born into a family of metaphysics and inherited the highest talent for controlling ghosts. Logically speaking, he should not be afraid of ghosts, but… he was afraid of the dark!
The darkness without an exit and the chirping sounds were the best place for human beings to use their imagination.
People could scare themselves to death!
When he looked up, Qian Lai didn’t even realize that his eyes were slightly wet: “Wha…what?”
“We should be circling, passing by the Spiritual Core several times.”
“Ah?” Master Qian relied on his thoughts to make talismans, and his imagination had always been richer than that of ordinary people. Qian Lai immediately stopped using his brain and relied on instinct to answer: “How could it be? Why didn’t we see it when we passed by? That thing will shine!”
“Just missed it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qing quickened his pace, changed direction, and ran forward without stopping.
Maybe he realized that the person behind him was really scared. After a while, the young man slowed down and took the initiative to speak: “If you are scared, you can find something to talk to me about, and I will answer.”
He turned back to talk, originally wanting to take care of Qian Lai, but at that moment, in the endless darkness, Qian Lai faced a pair of scarlet eyes!
His face turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground.
The first question that come to mind was—’are you human?’
But… in this environment, asking this question would only increase his fear.
So, Qian Lai’s mind ran rapidly, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: “What… did you do before you entered the game?”
“Programmer.”
“Ah?” Qian Lai was on the verge of crying, “It doesn’t even look like it QAQ”
“What?” The young man’s laughter in front of him could be heard faintly: “Do programmers have to be bald, wear glasses, and wear a plaid shirt?”
“…”
Yu Qing seemed to be really serious in answering him: “I don’t think all those who engage in metaphysics are like you, wearing a coat, hanging copper coins, and wearing sunglasses.”
“Hmm… You also wear a green coat. Doesn’t this color have a bad meaning?”
“Have you been raped by your girlfriend?”
Qian Lai: “…………”
[Hahahaha, the host really can comfort people.]
Although the audience in the live broadcast room lost a lot, Yu Qing’s fan base was strong. Even if it dropped again, there would still be 20,000+ left.
Enough for him to make a comeback!
Yu Qing walked forward quickly, carefully observing the harmonious live broadcast room as he walked: [Didn’t you pay attention? The host is really gentle to some NPCs, it’s the first time I’ve seen this.]
[He is also kind to the audience. Many hosts reluctantly please the audience after realizing that they are useful. This host call someone “husband” when he comes up. How good he is!]
[Wuwu, no matter what, I still can’t bear to let him die. (Reward points +10000)]
[Resurrection cards are so expensive. I don’t know if the host have the money. (Reward points +8000)]
However, no matter how harmonious the live broadcast room was, large rewards like before never appeared again!
After all, rich people also chose live broadcast rooms. Of course, if they had money, they would give generous rewards to certain hosts to have many props and good operations. The living space of small hosts was squeezed infinitely.
Endless darkness came forcibly, and after a while, some die-hard fans started crying in the live broadcast room.
[Boooooooo, my sister was also forcibly pulled into the dungeon and will stay there forever as an NPC, so I can’t stand the host who treats the dungeon NPC well. I don’t want him to die. (Reward points +370000)]
This time, they probably emptied all their money.
So… who were the viewers watching the live broadcast?
Were they human beings? Or were they the so-called immortals who created the game?
Helplessly, before Yu Qing could finish his thoughts, the comment just flashed away and completely gone.
Didn’t it mean that only spoiler comments would be banned? What that comment revealed?
Were the NPCs here also humans, or other creatures?
“It doesn’t matter.” Finally, Yu Qing stopped.
He stood in front of a dark crack of light, the blood-red of his pupils becoming more and more vivid. He raised his hand and slowly aimed at the ray of white light in front of him that was swallowed by the darkness.
“I have 2 million points now, and I won’t die.” He murmured, as if to comfort the comment just now, and said, “I don’t need a resurrection card.”
[Hahahahaha, no need for a resurrection card? Are you bragging too much?]
The comment in the live broadcast room continued to float, with sporadic flashes of disbelief and suspicion. Some people even laughed at the host for being too stupid and not knowing what the dean done.
Chi chi chi coo, chi chi chi coo.
The surrounding sounds kept getting closer, and now, not only Qian Lai, but also Yu Qing felt an almost fatal squeeze on the soles of his feet.
Something climbed up to his feet, soft, like a pool of mud, rising up, clamoring to devour him.
But… the young man still a faint smile on his lips: “I have found the spiritual core.”
“Ah? Do you have the key?” Finally, Qian Lai, who had been closing his eyes behind him, opened his eyes, and what he saw was the mental core that had been polluted to the point where only a little bit was left.
“The spiritual core is contaminated.” Qian Lai was a little desperate: “So this dream has long been out of Xu Han’s control.”
Yu Qing’s hand fumbled around the black ball. After a while, he confirmed: “There is no key.”
“Someone has contaminated and controlled Xu Han’s dream. The key is no longer here.”
Chi chi chi coo, chi chi chi coo.
The soft mud under their feet continued to spread, and the “chichichicoocoo” sound become more frequent, which sounded like… a weird and proud smile!
“Qian Lai, Qian Lai.” A vague cry came from one side. Qian Lai turned his head and met Yu Qing’s smiling face: “I have no strength; I can’t break free. Pull me away, hurry up. Take me and run!”
At! End! Want! Run! Got it!
Qian Lai cried with joy. Without any hesitation, he took the person’s wrist and rushed in the direction pointed by Yu Qing.
In the dark night, the smell of blood wafted, and the gurgling pieces of rotting meat chased after him. Qian Lai was walking very fast. After a while, he felt that Yu Qing, who had low physical strength, was being too slow.
He actually muttered a few words in his mouth, “Tentacle monster, don’t be jealous,” then picked up Yu Qing and continued to rush forward.
[ah? Hahahahaha!]
The sudden change instantly filled the live broadcast room with laughter.
[Finally realized that I can’t do anything, are you going to run away? Hahahaha, but where did this pitch-black thing go?]
[The host’s points reached two million. I think it’s better to buy a resurrection card and leave the teammate behind.]
[Yes, yes, running aimlessly like this is not far from death.]
Aimlessly?
Qian Lai was panting. He felt that it was not aimless. At least until then, Yu Qing did not show any fear or nervousness. He was always calm, and even… he gave specific directions for escape.
They… maybe really could escape…
Chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi…
Qian Lai kept running forward, and the chasing thing kept pestering his feet.
The sound of hurried footsteps and sticky “chirp” sounds came to his ears one after another, and the dean, who had been busy in the dean’s office, unconsciously was distracted.
He turned his eyes and looked toward the wall behind him in the direction of the footsteps.
Was there a sound outside the wall?
Oh~~, he remembered.
It was those two troublesome guys running for their lives~
It was a pity that this place had been controlled by him for a long time, and they… could never escape.
The corners of the dean’s lips lifted up, and the smile on his face grew wider.
The wrinkles covered his eyes, and after a while, he heard footsteps getting closer and faster, as if they were heading straight for him.
Then, boom——
